Yesterday I made a new layout, called it poembook.layout and put it in
.lyx/layouts in my home directory. It worked splendidly. I had finally
solved my layout problems.
Today when I fired up the computer and loaded the lyx document, I get 'The
document class poembook can not be loaded.' It seems it can't find the
layout file any more. But it's still where I left it yesterday,a s far as I
can see.


What can I have done wrong?

That doesn't hurt but should not be necessary. The configure script looks
in the PATH first for xxx-qt4 and then xxx. This is because you can also
have Qt3 installed and it has to be sure to pick up the Qt4 version.
For this reason, distributions rename the Qt4 xxx compilers as xxx-qt4.
This is done for moc and uic, but not for rcc (as Qt3 doesn't have it).
What happens is that when looking for moc-qt4 and uic-qt4, they are not
found in the bin dir of the specified Qt4 location (which is prepended to
the PATH) but they are found in the system Qt4 bin dir. So, the check for
moc and uic (without '-qt4') is not performed. Instead, rcc-qt4 is not
found neither in the system Qt4 bin dir nor in the specified Qt4 dir, so
configure now looks for rcc and finds it in the right place.

In order to load a layout file, LyX not only has to see the .layout 
file, it has to believe that any LaTeX classes/styles used by it are 
available.  I've no idea what happened, but (a) make sure that the class 
file (poembook.cls?) and any .sty files mentioned in the .layout file 
are available (kpsewhich poembook.cls in a terminal, ditto for anything 
else used) and (b) try reconfiguring/restarting LyX just to be safe.

You're correct for article and report classes.  I think that book 
classes usually include a binding correction in the calculation of the 
inner margin.  See chapter 2 of the Komascript guide for specifics on 
how their classes do it.

Maybe this is also due to the calling of the deprecated ae package
by Sweave.sty. Can you try to replace

  \usepackage[noae]{Sweave}

Alternatively, it might help to select a font-package (like mathpazo)

no, I mean that as you type in the search box things that match get
immediately active. No need to press enter, it works together with 'search

  2. sentence autocapitalization



 Hmm. Most of us hate that.

Let me try to motivate this feature.
1- It's trivial to implement it, and then make it optional.
2- The only way to check whether you have missed a capital is by loading all
your lyx files on a text editor that supports regex and painfully check
results of \.\s+[a-z] one by one. Not efficient.
3- I hate to do keyboard combos. they are bad for rsi and slower overall.
Autocapitalization would save thousands of those a month.

 You could file an enhancement request for this.

  5. bold, color background on outline. A way for the eyes to fixate

 I'm not sure what you mean here.

 say section is bold, subsection is not. Or colored backgrounds (level1 is
darker, level 6 is lighter... etc).
I'd love to assign colors to sections to be able to track them visually.


  6. edit history (go back to last edits). We seem to have only one step
 back?



 You can go back a very long way.


well, on 1.6.4, ubuntu karmic, I cannot. If I press the red arrow (back) it
goes back to one edit location (if at all). What am I doing wrong?


  7. the rest of the world operates on rich text/html. LyX doesn't
 (clipboard
 integration is poor, copy-pasting from/to web loses formatting)



 I'm not sure which rest of the world you have in mind, but I agree that
 LyX's external clipboard handling could be improved. We generally use
 plaintext for this, because no-one has cared enough to change it since it
 was implemented eons ago.


say copy-paste from browsers. keeping basic formatting (headings, bold)
would be good., but I bet this is non-trivial. Running some html parser on
clipboard contents, then convert html to lyx... then paste.


  8. 'pasted from' and url for every paste from the web (onenote uses this
 and
 it's damn inspired)



 Don't understand this either.


Imagine you want to keep a snippet you found online. you copy it. when
pasting it in lyx, it will add a little note with the url it came from, and
the time it was collected. This is a killer feature for

Over the years I have come across several ways of doing this via third 
party clipmate managers, freeform data bases such as Zoot, and as addins 
for your browser. Its actually a very common feature, but its a 
clipping feature rather than a pasting feature.


Here is one for firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4292

Select the text in Firefox, right click, choose quote text and past 
into Lyx where it pastes the url as well as the text.


Indeed it will paste the text and url into anything.

There are some options on what is copied/pasted.

Layout file not usable

2010-03-21 Thread Tim Wescott

Searching the archives I see lots of problems associated with this, but 
nothing that seems to point to an answer for me.


I'm working hard at being a brand-new user, but I'm still a 
user-wannabe, because things ain't working!  I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, 
brand shiny new installation of Lyx.  I try to create a document from a 
template (any template, but I'll use latex8 as an example) and I get the 
following:


The layout file requested by this document,
latex8.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.

I tried reconfigure -- no luck.

I tried running texhash -- no luck.

I verified that /usr/share/lyx/layouts is there, and that it has 
latex8.layout (and all the others that didn't work) in it.

 BH


 Thanks for your help.

 I think that the indication that the Bera fonts are not installed is just a
 symptom of a deeper problem; I appear to have lost all font control. No
 matter what fonts I choose, I get a pdf that has the default LaTeX fonts.
 Something is badly screwed up in my TeX installation; I'm going to get rid
 of it and start over.

 Your comments were still useful; I learned several things about trouble
 shooting my installation.

 -=- Rich


Well, there is nothing wrong with my TeX installation. I've been using
TeXShop to work directly in LaTeX and also to typeset LyX documents that I
have exported to LaTeX. All the fonts and utilities are available that are
supposed to be.

There were two things wrong with my LyX 1.6.5 installation, both easy to
correct once I understood what was going on.

Somehow these lines got into the preamble I've been using:

% set fonts for nicer pdf view

\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{}

\fi % end if pdflatex is used


When I used pdflatex to typeset a document, these lines were substituting
Latin Modern for any fonts I was choosing in Lyx.


The second problem is that LyX was showing the Bera fonts as 'not
installed', even though they are and I can use them to typeset a document
(once I had figured out and corrected the first problem). For some reason,
LyX is not adding the correct information to the packages.lst file (which on
OS X is in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/), even though the
configure.log file shows that the reconfigure procedure is correctly seeing
that the Bera fonts are installed and available. So I just added a line with
the word 'bera' to the packages.lst file and the 'not installed' message
went away.

problems with french quotation marks when using lyx with sweave

2010-03-21 Thread Erich Studerus



Hi

I would like to use french quotatin marks in a lyx document with R/Sweave 
code chunks. Unfortunately, the french quotation marks get replaced by 
filled squares during compilation even if I use \frqq. Does anybody know why 
this is?
I'm using the Sweave/Lyx setup described by Gregor Gorjanc, which works fine

You're correct for article and report classes.  I think that book 
classes usually include a binding correction in the calculation of the 
inner margin.  See chapter 2 of the Komascript guide for specifics on

Maybe this is also due to the calling of the deprecated ae package
by Sweave.sty. Can you try to replace

  \usepackage{Sweave}
  
with  

  \usepackage[noae]{Sweave}
  
somewhere in your setup?

Alternatively, it might help to select a font-package (like mathpazo)

 (clipboard
 integration is poor, copy-pasting from/to web loses formatting)



 I'm not sure which rest of the world you have in mind, but I agree that
 LyX's external clipboard handling could be improved. We generally use
 plaintext for this, because no-one has cared enough to change it since it
 was implemented eons ago.


say copy-paste from browsers. keeping basic formatting (headings, bold)
would be good., but I bet this is non-trivial. Running some html parser on
clipboard contents, then convert html to lyx... then paste.


  8. 'pasted from' and url for every paste from the web (onenote uses this
 and

 Don't understand this either.


Imagine you want to keep a snippet you found online. you copy it. when
pasting it in lyx, it will add a little note with the url it came from, and

Over the years I have come across several ways of doing this via third 
party clipmate managers, freeform data bases such as Zoot, and as addins 
for your browser. Its actually a very common feature, but its a 
clipping feature rather than a pasting feature.


Here is one for firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4292

Select the text in Firefox, right click, choose quote text and past 
into Lyx where it pastes the url as well as the text.


Indeed it will paste the text and url into anything.

There are some options on what is copied/pasted.

Re: I can´t to compile lyx

2010-03-21 Thread Marcelo Acuña

   Thanks Enrico. This solved the problem.
   I gave a look to output of the configure and I
 noticed that also it find for
  
   rcc-qt4
  
   without finding it.
   It will be necessary to also make a link to that
 file?
 
 That doesn't hurt but should not be necessary. The
 configure script looks
 in the PATH first for xxx-qt4 and then xxx. This is because
 you can also
 have Qt3 installed and it has to be sure to pick up the Qt4
 version.
 For this reason, distributions rename the Qt4 xxx compilers
 as xxx-qt4.
 This is done for moc and uic, but not for rcc (as Qt3
 doesn't have it).
 What happens is that when looking for moc-qt4 and uic-qt4,
 they are not
 found in the bin dir of the specified Qt4 location (which
 is prepended to
 the PATH) but they are found in the system Qt4 bin dir. So,
 the check for
 moc and uic (without '-qt4') is not performed. Instead,
 rcc-qt4 is not
 found neither in the system Qt4 bin dir nor in the
 specified Qt4 dir, so
 configure now looks for rcc and finds it in the right
 place.

 The problem was solved, but lyx now not take colors (like color bakground for 
outline) from qtconfig.
 Others changes, like fonts are taked.

Layout file not usable

2010-03-21 Thread Tim Wescott

Searching the archives I see lots of problems associated with this, but 
nothing that seems to point to an answer for me.


I'm working hard at being a brand-new user, but I'm still a 
user-wannabe, because things ain't working!  I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, 
brand shiny new installation of Lyx.  I try to create a document from a 
template (any template, but I'll use latex8 as an example) and I get the 
following:


The layout file requested by this document,
latex8.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.

I tried reconfigure -- no luck.

I tried running texhash -- no luck.

I verified that /usr/share/lyx/layouts is there, and that it has 
latex8.layout (and all the others that didn't work) in it.


Clues for the clueless?

Well, there is nothing wrong with my TeX installation. I've been using
TeXShop to work directly in LaTeX and also to typeset LyX documents that I
have exported to LaTeX. All the fonts and utilities are available that are
supposed to be.

There were two things wrong with my LyX 1.6.5 installation, both easy to
correct once I understood what was going on.

Somehow these lines got into the preamble I've been using:

% set fonts for nicer pdf view

\IfFileExists{lmodern.sty}{\usepackage{lmodern}}{}

\fi % end if pdflatex is used

When I used pdflatex to typeset a document, these lines were substituting
Latin Modern for any fonts I was choosing in Lyx.

The second problem is that LyX was showing the Bera fonts as 'not
installed', even though they are and I can use them to typeset a document
(once I had figured out and corrected the first problem). For some reason,
LyX is not adding the correct information to the packages.lst file (which on
OS X is in ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.6/), even though the
configure.log file shows that the reconfigure procedure is correctly seeing
that the Bera fonts are installed and available. So I just added a line with
the word 'bera' to the packages.lst file and the 'not installed' message
went away.

problems with french quotation marks when using lyx with sweave

2010-03-21 Thread Erich Studerus



Hi

I would like to use french quotatin marks in a lyx document with R/Sweave 
code chunks. Unfortunately, the french quotation marks get replaced by 
filled squares during compilation even if I use \frqq. Does anybody know why 
this is?
I'm using the Sweave/Lyx setup described by Gregor Gorjanc, which works fine 
for me on both Mac and Windows computers except for the problem with 
quotation marks.


Regards,
Erich

RE: Beamer question: Addional infos for Teacher

2010-03-21 Thread Ingar Pareliussen

It sound like branches are good fit for your problem. 

Make the presentation. Make new branch in Document->Setting -->Branches. Make 
the changes for the students, change the document layout to handouts. Make a 
new branch and add the extra for the teachers. Choose the right branch you want 
when making the different handouts and the presentation. 

Some addition info can be fount in the lyxwiki:

Yes, the margins are calculated using a default margin of 1 inch, see

You're correct for article and report classes.  I think that book 
classes usually include a binding correction in the calculation of the 
inner margin.  See chapter 2 of the Komascript guide for specifics on 
how their classes do it.

Farsi typing problem

2010-03-21 Thread Amir Fathi


Dear Sir/Maddam

I'm a fan of LYX and I've been using it
over a year. I'm Iranian and in found of
typing papers and report in my language which is
Persian (Farsi).

My problem is, when I try to start a documnet
and I chose the document class as "Report",
the out put documnet does not enumerate the
"Part". There are just Part's name but not the
numbers. Is there any command or trick that I
can use to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Amir Fathi

Maybe this is also due to the calling of the deprecated "ae" package
by Sweave.sty. Can you try to replace

  \usepackage{Sweave}

with  

  \usepackage[noae]{Sweave}

somewhere in your setup?

Alternatively, it might help to select a font-package (like mathpazo)
in the LaTex Preamble (as this overrides the "ae" font selection).

no, I mean that as you type in the search box things that match get
immediately active. No need to press enter, it works together with 'search
highlight occurences'. the best way to experience this is to open vim, press
/ and start typing your search term. Word 2010 does this too (took them 10
years :) )

Let me try to motivate this feature.
1- It's trivial to implement it, and then make it optional.
2- The only way to check whether you have missed a capital is by loading all
your lyx files on a text editor that supports regex and painfully check
results of \.\s+[a-z] one by one. Not efficient.
3- I hate to do keyboard combos. they are bad for rsi and slower overall.
Autocapitalization would save thousands of those a month.

I'd love to assign colors to sections to be able to track them visually.

say copy-paste from browsers. keeping basic formatting (headings, bold)
would be good., but I bet this is non-trivial. Running some html parser on
clipboard contents, then convert html to lyx... then paste.

Imagine you want to keep a snippet you found online. you copy it. when
pasting it in lyx, it will add a little note with the url it came from, and
the time it was collected. This is a killer feature for
notetaking/research.

Over the years I have come across several ways of doing this via third 
party clipmate managers, freeform data bases such as Zoot, and as addins 
for your browser. Its actually a very common feature, but its a 
clipping feature rather than a pasting feature.


Here is one for firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4292

Select the text in Firefox, right click, choose "quote text" and past 
into Lyx where it pastes the url as well as the text.


Indeed it will paste the text and url into anything.

There are some options on what is copied/pasted.

 The problem was solved, but lyx now not take colors (like color bakground for 
outline) from qtconfig.
 Others changes, like fonts are taked.

What do you want it to paste?

You can modify what it pastes via the preferences.

Use your window manager's sticky keys feature then. It should be found

Didn't know about sticky keys. very useful.

LyX 2.0 will come with a completely new written extended search engine.

2. sentence autocapitalization

Hmm. Most of us hate that.

Let me try to motivate this feature.
1- It's trivial to implement it, and then make it optional.

Indeed, we should let the users decide. Please open an enhancement report in
our bug tracking system.

5. bold, color background on outline. A way for the eyes to fixate

landmarks
in long outlines.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

say section is bold, subsection is not. Or colored backgrounds (level1 is

darker, level 6 is lighter... etc).
I'd love to assign colors to sections to be able to track them visually.

For this purpose we have layout files. Dependent on the document class, you can there define how a
section should within LyX. The Additional features manual explains the layout files.

6. edit history (go back to last edits). We seem to have only one step

back?

You can go back a very long way.

well, on 1.6.4, ubuntu karmic, I cannot. If I press the red arrow (back) it
goes back to one edit location (if at all). What am I doing wrong?

The red arrow button jumps t the last cursor position.
LyX supports 100 undo steps (accessible via shortcut Ctrl+z or the green,
rounded, left-pointing arrow).

8. 'pasted from' and url for every paste from the web (onenote uses this

and it's damn inspired)

So what do you miss exactly? LyX has support for hyperlinks (to URLs, files,
mail addresses).
